Happy Thanksgiving

I got up at 5am, got the turkey ready, and had it on the Big Green Egg by 6am. Today will be exhausting and awesome at my house. My whole family has come over. The house is filled with laughter, warmth, and the smells of the season.

Of course, I can’t smell any of them. I’m sick. My voice, thankfully, is on the mend. I have to be on TV this afternoon so I’m not talking much this morning.

In any event, I hope you all have a blessed day. I am so thankful for the great and wonderful friends with whom I write on this site. They have been good friends for so long and I count myself lucky to know them. I hope they know how much I appreciate them.

We’ve been at this now for a decade. We’ve had friends here who’ve died, others are welcoming children and grandchildren, and still others are marrying. This too is family.

But Republicans made gains in the Senate in...

All politics should be local, but President Trump himself has insisted it is like he is on the ballot. And he is right. Today is a nationalized election about Donald Trump and depending on where you live it will have major implications for Democrats and Republicans. In urban and suburban areas, there has been a decided shift away from President Trump. That will impact House races and more likely...

I think the Democrats will probably take back the House with 30 to 40 pick ups. I think the GOP will hold the Senate and may pick up a couple of seats. I think Democrats will pick up just over a half dozen gubernatorial seats. But I think the GOP will hold Georgia, even though it will be close. There is only one consistent data point in this volatile midterm election season. No one really knows...
